Real Madrid Castilla coach Raul has sung the praises of Vinicius Tobias.

The free transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk has impressed under Raul and saw first team action for Real in preseason.

Raul said, "In these four or five months he is improving. Offensively he has quality and is daring more and more. And defensively, when the team has been organised and stronger with the five line, we have helped him for his progression."

On Tobias' future, he also said: "The issue of the decision does not correspond to me, but he is a boy in whom there is improvement. Let's hope he stays this season and when the decision has to be made, make it the best for him and for the club.

"My intention is to help him, like everyone else, and find his best version and accumulate demanding games."
